Need help with a friend who is flirting with Suicide?
I need help with a woman who is desperate. She is so sad but I don't know the right words to say. She has had a difficult few years. I know she has a drinking problem (although she may not see it). She has done drugs in the past but she says she doesn't now. Last year Her and her late husband had the kids taken away from her for abandonment.She and her husband were separated. She was living with a boyfriend. Her husband would leave for work and she would come in and take care of the kids. Well she was a little late and a nosy neighbor found out and called the police and they took them out. They were working to get back the kids when her she has got into it AGAIN with her boyfriend and called her husband and he was coming to rescue her. Well he got her and took off with her when her boyfriend jumped in his vehicle and followed them. The men got out of the vehicles and started to fight. Well it ended up costing her husband his life. They supposedly both had a knife and he was stabbed. She said it wasn't intentional but the fact remains it happened. Even though she was not IN LOVE with him she still loved him and they were like best friends.So from then on she had to work harder to get the kids back. She did in December but the boyfriend (out on bail) came back around and started to do things for her. She said she noticed a change in him and she still loved him. Supposedly no more abuse and what not. Well one morning the social worker came by to have her sign papers and found the guy in her house. That made her lose all her parental rights. She was not supposed to have contact with him. She realizes it was a mistake but it happened so lets move on. She has gotten into a self destructive pattern recently. More drinking and stuff. Well today I logged onto facebook and i see random thought she has put on there Some hinting to "ending it all". I know it is a cry for help.From what I hear she has blocked certain people on Facebook but not me. I want to help but I just don't know what to say. What do you say to a woman who has lost everything GOOD in her life. I know Death is not the answer but I need more than that. I know to tell her to seek help at the hospital but I dont even know where she is. If I don't hear from her buy tomorrow morning I am going to send the police to do a welfare check at her home. What in the mean time.What do I do or say?
ty leslie I hear what you are saying. I cant call her she doesnt have a phone so the only way I talk to her is on MSN or facebook. Thank god for people with internet connections in her area. I would hang out with her but her idea of fun is drinking and I am not into that. If she doesnt get back on in the next hour I am driving my butt over there which is about 30 minutes away from here.
You know what moose I think you though that was funny but it wasnt. She is still a human being and she is hurting. You have the nerve to make a joke about it. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

You seem like a good friend to a person whose life is going downhill.You have the right idea to call the police in to check on her.Tell them that you feel that she is a danger to herself ,that she has threatened suicide.
Keep being a friend and listen to her. Don't make her feel guilty for feeling suicidal ,don't offer opinions or suggestions ,just be yourself and listen quietly. You can be her support but let her talk it out by herself (unless she Asks for you ideas.) It's never to late to turn her life around.

Call her. Talk to her. Suggest a fun activity. If she is that down in the dumps go and visit her. You will be doing a good deed. It's rewarding.
Do not birng up suicide with her. She may feel like a freak. If she is "crying for help" that means she wants someone to stop her. She wants someone to make her feel less lonely.
I know it may be burdeonsome to step in with your own life going on but you definitely care, and karma will bring you back good things. Be a friend. Be there. Don't talk about the tragedies in her life just joke around and talk about shallow stuff. Just be there. Make her life feel normal. Don't be too heavy

You could try talking her out of it, but I don't know what you could say. Try to convince her to call a crisis line. I think handling it all by yourself could be a bit much for you. Professionals have alot of experience. I think a voluntary stay at a hospital could be useful.

Call her. Talk to her. Contact her. ANYTHING. Do not leave her alone. bother her till she understands that you don't want her gone. talk to her as long as you need to. If it gets too close to suicide... CALL 911 NO MATTER WHAT!!! she might hate you for it, but its for the best. Do NOT wait for the morning, you might be too late.
